LATEST REPORT ON MISSISSIPPI KITES

8/29/2016

0 Comments

 
.Earlier this summer I wrote a Journal entry on the Mississippi Kites  in my back yard. This is a follow-up on that article. Early in the spring, I thought the Kites were nesting in the Pine trees where they were perching and mating. Over time, however, we have not been able to see a nest, but their continuous daily presence in these  trees all summer points to the certainty of nests in the general area. The Kites have been regularly observed in the neighborhood around a five square mile area. Their presence in my back yard is usually one to five birds from early morning to late afternoon. I cannot determine that they are here after dark. I have spent many hours observing and enjoying their diving and flying antics. I am waiting to wake up one morning and realize they have deserted us to return to their winter home in South America. The pictures below were taken at various times over the summer.
